I hate violence. I wish people wouldn't fight or do these things to each other. But I'm also a realist, and I know that's how this world is. There are too many people out there who are willing and able to do the most vicious physical acts against others, and oftentimes, without any reason. The attacks against Asians in many U.S. cities this year is proof, as is this event, as was the murder of Cannon Hinnant.
What I'm going to write may offend some posters, because I have seen there are plenty of liberals/leftists here who do believe things like critical race theory are good and that's it's all right to demand reparations for slavery and who think only white people can be racist because according to leftist ideology, racism doesn't exist without power and since America is majority whites, whites have power and only whites can be racist.
These ideas are all absolute garbage in my view. I despise critical race theory, I hate communism, I consider Karl Marx a plague upon humanity, I consider cultural Marxism to be trash, and I oppose the left.
I'm also aware that there are, for example, white and Asian liberals as well as black and Hispanic conservatives.
But I'm also aware that much of America - indeed, much of humanity - operates not through cold, calculating reason and thought and thorough, exhaustive, time-consuming research. None of us can stay awake 24 hours doing nothing but reading and studying and researching. We may become experts or specialists in certain subjects, but even that takes time.
Because people often operate by perception, they will not look at all the facts. And with the issue of identity politics and all the race-driven tension in the past few years, race has returned to the forefront.
Think about it. Black, Hispanic, Asian, and even white people can go on TV and talk about "privileged white men" (think about how Brett Kavanaugh was excoriated as such when he was falsely accused of sexual misconduct). Now imagine a white person going on TV and saying something about privileged men who are black or Jewish.
How long would it take for that person to be fired from his or her job?
I've been observing these events for years now.
I've seen all the double-standards, the hypocrisy, the blaming of white people for "privilege" to the extent they were forced to kneel, the guilt-tripping of whites for slavery (even though blacks owned slaves, even though hundreds of thousands of whites died to among other things ensure slavery would end, and even though it was white people - Europeans - who were the FIRST IN THE HISTORY OF HUMANITY to come up with the idea that slavery was wrong and that wealth and firepower were to be used to end it, and even though today there are thousands of African slaves in Africa enslaved by other Africans, but the American left couldn't care less)....
A black boy is shot by a cop, streets are marched on, intersections paralyzed...
A black man is shot by a cop, even though he was a rapist, and people protest for days...
A black man dies due to a fentanyl overdose and BLM and Antifa riot, killing people, injuring people for life, destroying hundreds of black, Hispanic, Korean, Chinese, Arab, etc. owned businesses - and white businesses too... underclass people loot at will and laugh while at it...
But when a white boy is kidnapped and stabbed and left to rot on the street like some dog, where's the outcry? Did Cash's life matter?
I've been watching the news, I've been on many websites, I've been reading editorials and articles and comments and opinions and my ironclad conclusion is that white people in America - many of them - are furious. Outraged. Mad as hell. Bitter.
And some of them have become racist when they weren't racist before. Being told they were guilty of being bad because they were white... why should they just kneel and bow their heads and take it like idiots?
Leftists, you did this. You created racists, you increased the ranks of white nationalist groups, you have increased interest in such groups with your incessant bashing of whites and your hypocritical double standards, and shame on you white leftists especially because you act as defenders of minorities but you only do so when convenient (why do you not protest black crimes against Asians?). And double shame on you because there are many honorable, ethical, hardworking, decent, intelligent, morally upright, and salt-of-the-Earth Americans who are black and Hispanic and Asian who don't agree with your ideology and who are now at greater risk of being victims of actual racist crimes because you've made white people angry.
But Sleepy Joe said he was going to bring unity. Instead, he reaping what he sowing.
Joe Biden lives in your head free of rent: The OP said nothing about Biden. You had to bring it up because Gray Man Bad has to be mentioned at every opportunity.

You brought up racism. The thread is about racism and a divide in the country. We all know Sleepy Joe said he was going to bring unity instead. He’s done nothing close to that.
Again, your reading comprehension is not impressive.
You should really restrict your posts to things like CEO confidence (as if that'll make a difference to people who struggle to make ends meet thanks to rising inflation - although I wouldn't be surprised if you knew little about that).
